About

Please do not just drop in to volunteer when there are no openings for a certain date. If there are no openings and you need hours or just want to volunteer please text me Gloria Hyden at 901-552-7038. If you do sign up and can't come please cancel or text me to let me know. We look forward to working together to prep and serve hot meals to the homeless, working poor and chronic poor men, women and children in the downtown medical district. If you are running late please don't hesitate to come. Even if you arrive at 8:30 or 8:45 that is better than not showing at all. Thank you for your cooperation.

Volunteers are asked to arrive at 8:00 am and stay until 11:00 or 11:30 am.
Wear some type of head covering (baseball cap) per health department regulations.
Masks are optional. However you feel comfortable.
Park in the lot on the East side of the building and enter through the kitchen door which is up the back stairs.
Things to do on arrival:
- Wash your hands
- Put on furnished gloves
- Sign in
Our daily team lead will show you how you can help!
As well as helping to prepare the meal, plate and serve to our guests we ask that you help with dishwashing in our commercial kitchen and at the end of the day wipe down and disinfect the tables and surfaces.
Bring a smile and a big heart.
We hope your experience is joyful and fulfilling.

If you have been out of the city or country in the week before your volunteer slot, we ask that you change your day to at least 10 days out of your original time slot. Thank you for your cooperation.
